    The PERT chart was developed in 1958 for the Polaris missile program to schedule and organize complex projects. It uses network techniques to determine the minimum time needed to complete all tasks based on probabilistic time estimates for each activity. The PERT chart is widely used for large, non-routine projects requiring sequential and parallel tasks.

    PROGRAM EVALUATION REVIEW TECHNIQUE (PERT) CHART

    How did the PERT chart came about?


    PERT (Project Evaluation and Review Technique) was devised in 1958 for the POLARIS missile program
    by the Program Evaluation Branch of the Special Projects office of the U.S.Navy, helped by the Lockheed
    Missile Systems division and the Consultant firm of Booz-Allen & Hamilton. The calculations were so
    arranged so that they could be carried out on the IBM Naval Ordinance Research Computer (NORC) at
    Dahlgren, Virginia. SRI VIDYA COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY COURSE
    MATERIAL (LECTURE NOTES) CS6704 RMT UNIT -5 Page 2 The methods are essentially
    network-oriented techniques using the same principle. PERT and CPM are basically time-oriented
    methods in the sense that they both lead to determination of a time schedule for the project. The
    significant difference between two approaches is that the time estimates for the different activities in
    CPM were assumed to be deterministic(USED IN: Production management - for the jobs of repetitive in
    nature where the activity time estimates can be predicted with considerable certainty due to the existence
    of past experience) while in PERT these are described probabilistically( USED IN: Project
    management - for non-repetitive jobs (research and development work), where the time and cost estimates
    tend to be quite uncertain. This technique uses probabilistic time estimates). These techniques are referred
    as project scheduling techniques.

    INTRODUCTION TO CPM / PERT TECHNIQUES


    PERT chart is an acronym for Program Evaluation Review Technique.
    A PERT chart is regarded to be project management toot (PMT) used to schedule, organize
    and coordinate tasks within a project. It is basically a method to analyze the tasks involved in
    completing a given project, especially the time needed to complete a given project. It is really
    reliable that a PERT chart gives more importance to task termination or completion within a
    project thereby making this a great evaluation tool mostly applied world wide for great project
    planning. When the correct time laps needed to complete each task in a project are clearly and
    surely displaced, the pert chart will provide for accurate timing time management taking in to
    consideration all the task and their time of completion and launch (that is, the early and the late
    starting time, The early and the late finish time for each task and the whole project as a whole).
    The main objectives of a PERT are then to facilitate decision making and the to reduce both time
    and cost required to complete a project, in other words a PERT is a method of analyzing the tasks
    involved in completing a given project especially the time needed to complete each task and
    identify the minimum time needed to complete the whole project. A PERT chart is generally
    intended for very large scale, onetime non-routine complex projects with a high degree of
    inter task dependency projects which requires a series of activities some of which must be
    performed sequentially or in series and others that can be performed in parallel with other
    activities.
    Since it creation in the mid-1900s, the PERT chart has found its way home in many different
    industries and stand as an essential program management tool nowadays.
    This work is then made to provide a better understanding of this PMT and further outline it
    application in exampere common tasks in our society
